They show decreases in population in Idaho and Nez Perce counties as compared with 1910. This is due to the fact that two new counties, Clearwater and Lewis, were created out of the territory formerly embraced by Idaho and Nez Perce since the enumeration 10 years ago. Comparisons are misleading in any of the northern Idaho coun- ties, as Benewah and Boundary counties have also been created in the last decade from territory formerly embraced in Bonner, Kootenai and Shoshone counties.

We believe they will at least get a few free gratis, and then the farmer can depend upon some for himself and family for their trouble and labor. A great many of the chickens stolen were prize birds, that the owner himself did not want to kill in order that he might help build up the chicken industry in this county. | About the easiest wav for the farmers to stop this dirty business is as follows: A certain man went over the hill To get a bunch of pullets, When suddenly against his will, ~ pants were filled with bul- ets.

A man, whose identity could not be learned says a Grange- ville correspondent to the Lewis- |ton Tribune, was almost instan- tly killed Thursday at a point on the new state highway near Rig- gins, when a heavily laden truck went over a steep grade and pin- ioned him to the ground. Hugh Vignor also occupied a seat on the truck but escaped uninjured by jumping when it was seen that its course could not be con trolled. The accident occurred on the Salmon river stretch of road, now building. The Grant-Smith company have the contract for the construction and are work- , ing a great number of men. Later it was learned that the dead man resided in the New Meadows section of Idaho.

Grangeville, on the Cottonwood road, The boy, who was hauling wheat from the ranch to Grangeville, was seated on top the sacked grain, when suddenly three of the sacks slipped, and rolled to the ground. |The boy lost his balance, and fell between a front and rear wheel of the wagon. It is thought he was run over by the rear wheel, but this point has not ben made clear by those who investigated the accident. Some think a sack of wheat fell on him. The boy’s father and another man were following with loads of wheat, and when they observed an accident had occured, rushed to the scene. The boy arose, walked forward, and caught hold of the lead team to the four- horse outfit he was driving. Then he suddenly fell and lapsed into unconsciousness. Those who had arrived at the spot lay him at the side of the road and with- in a short time he regained con- sciousness and was able to speak of the accident. He said he had heen run over by a wheel. The boy was taken to the Im- perial hotel in Grangeville and a physican summoned. He was able to converse with those about him until just a few min- utes before his death, which oc- curred st 2:30 Sunday night.

The contractors already have their outfit on the way and will commence active operations with in ten days.
